November 15, 200718 yr Hello! I'm thinking about buying a new laptop. I gave my old HP to my sister and it weighs 400 pounds. I want something light and tough (can I have both?) for around a grand or cheaper that will be used exclusively for internet and music on the go. There have been a lot of threads lately about laptops, so judging from those I'm either considering a Lenovo T series or (shudder) going back to macland with an iBook. Any other thoughts or recommendations appreciated.

November 15, 200718 yr Tough: Toughbook and/or ... dagnabit, I forget the name of the competition...apparently Dell Latitude ATG is also ruggedized...I'll post again if I remember the name and/or find the ad of the other major company I was thinking of (it was from Micro Center). They're not cheap, though.
November 15, 200718 yr Author Hard to beat the Panasonic Toughbook series for a laptop that can take a beating. Spendy! Looks like maybe "tough" is out of my pricerange. Might have to settle for just light.
November 17, 200718 yr Dell XPS M1330 with Completecare. (slightly more than 2Kg with standard cell) Dell Latitude D630 with Completecare. (2.5Kg with standard cell) I'm a Windows refugee. I came back from Macs. On OS X you have iTunes, iTunes, or iTunes. I didn't realise how limiting that would be. Plus while it all looks great the hardware is kinda ropey compared to similarly priced Lenovo, HP, Sony and Dell systems.
